even if there is enough space for wisdom teeth, can they still impact?

I was wondering.
I believe I have plenty of space in my mouth, and I was wondering if there is still a risk of impaction?
I am 16, and my top left 3rd molar is erupting.
The bottom right of my jaw is aching slightly. More uncomfortable than painful.
As I have a retainer to wear at night, ever morning when I take them off, the site at which my bottom right molar feels swollen. It doesn't hurt, its just an odd feeling.

My fathers wisdom teeth came down with out a hitch, but my mothers were extracted.
I'm wondering, is the growth of these teeth hereditary?

Thank you
